  1. “Authorian bent”? That’s a pretty weak headline, NYT. Trump is a fascist and he is planning a fascist takeover.

    Vote for democracy, vote blue

  2. “When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.” – Donald Trump 1990

  3. Authoritarian bent? Sounds cute not dangerous. Thanks again NYT.

  4. The fact that people still aren’t able to see right through Trump boggles my mind. He’s a low intellect conman and that should be obvious to everyone.

  5. Trump’s base is driven on a gut level by fear. You have to tell the truth to them in language they understand, direct and to the point. Logic is lost on them.

    “Trump does not care about you. He is using you for your money and muscle. When you are no longer of use to him, he will toss you like yesterday’s trash. And the minute your rights interfere with his wants, … he will go after you.”

  6. He’ll do a better job this time…

    …at ending democracy.

  7. Jesus fuck, Trump instigated Jan 6! Of course he’s a motherfucking fascist.

  8. >Abortion is just the first of your rights I’ll take away … 235 years of American Democracy is enough … Donald, Donald uber alles

    My suggestions for Trump’s 2024 slogans

  9. New fears? Fuck off. He’s been exactly this the whole time. He thinks president=king. Because he’s that stupid. This guy couldn’t pass a junior high civics class.

  10. Just imagine being so fucked in the head that you’re personally happy with voting for someone again who wants to be a dictator.

  11. “New Fears?” Really NYT? Because some of us figured that out in 2015. Pay attention.

  12. >Trump’s Dire Words Raise New Fears About His Authoritarian Bent

    These fears are pretty fucking old at this point

  13. Unrestrained capitalism such as America bases its economy leads to wealth disparity and eventually fascism. Anyone who doesn’t believe this needs to read Karl Polanyi and Thomas Picketty who wrote books that anyone not just technical people can understand. As repulsive as Trump is he’s the natural product of our economic system and we will soon regret our stupidity in causing our own self-destruction

  14. Is it a bend if you’re leaning full tilt into it at 120MPH?

  15. Damage will be done, but Donald’s fall from grace is going to be brutal, and it will be glorious to watch.

    And so many people are gonna be like, “me? Never really liked the guy”.

    Ok, Boomer

  16. Every fucking word out of his mouth should be damn concerning

  17. Trump isn’t exactly hiding the ball here by calling for the elimination of the opposing party in his public statements. The media has the responsibility to inform the public that he will attempt to rule as a dictator if he regains power.

  18. “Authoritarian bent” is the biggest understament I have seen recently.

  19. The NYT is sounding the alarm .
    But other media aren’t.

    On this podcast from the Economist, they discuss Trump in 2 parts .

    They say nothing about his losses in 2018+2020+2022+2023. The last 2 were historic.

    One person mentions how Jan 6th and something else make him dangerous for democracy .

    But there is no mention of Project 2025 in which Trump plans to invoke the Insurrection Act + deport 11M illegal immigrants + deport Dems that support Pallestine. Why is the Economist not sounding the alarm?

  20. Fears?

    Foolish media nonsense.

    It’s already a reality.

  21. The Khmer Rouge had an “Authoritarian Bent”. He consistently calls News outlets “The Enemy of the People”. He is going to imprison all of you at the NYT. Why aren’t you listening to the words coming out of his mouth?

  22. He needs to be history. A horrible history……….how the F! can this trash have one person that would vote for him. Hope he rots in hell/jail (jail won’t happen… he’ll never spend a day in jail)

  23. NYT, you’re quickly getting be on my sh– list. Stop suing kid cloves and call these fascists out as they are. I’m sick of this normalizing bs!

  24. Oh FUCK the NY Times!!
    When he went full Hitler with his “vermin” speech, their headline was like “Trump takes a different approach with veterans Day speech”.
    They are not only cowards they are complicit.
    They do not deserve any respect anymore.

  25. He’s a media darling. They eat his stuff up. Then if he actually wins, they are silenced. That is how it is going to happen.
